    Gina literally never said anything wrong or offensive. all she said was, treating another group as second class citizens ineveitably leads to atrocities like the holocaust. Which is irrefutably, objectively true.
    The Jews were persecuted, censored, hated and had rights taken away. Gina never mentioned conservatives once, yet the lefties claimed it was about conservatives which is basically admitting that such persecution is happeningto conservatives for them to make that connection.

    Great replacement.

    1. Connor

      Not really

      1. Ry

        Really, robot is a better actor

        1. David

          I will never spend another penny on anything Disney. Go woke go broke.

          1. Pete

            Yet here you are commenting on an article for a Disney+ show. You’re free to leave anytime, nobody will miss you.

          2. Lance

            And here you are, bidencksuker

          3. Ric Dartist

            Why are trolls always defending Disney’s poor financial and artistic decisions?

          4. Bert

            Disney has record earnings this year. Not too broke from being woke. Look it up.

          5. Steve

            Nope. Disney had record losses and is in the red.

        2. Stewart

          Nope

    2. T. Flanagan

      You mean weak and cowardly right ? This is very lame . Typical Disney today, pandering whole hiding its horribly racist past

      1. Ryu

        Yes indeed

        1. Becky

          I love IG-11 as a protector. It’s a subversive way to reduce/reuse Empire remnants. Plus, IG-11 is seemingly only vulnerable to self-destruction. Makes the marshall a perfect protector, invulnerable to bad guys. Plus, does it even have to be paid? Clever twist, Favreau and Filoni.

          1. Stewart

            The person who voices it has to be paid.

      2. Ric Dartist

        Yes, you are 109% correct. Replacing Cara Dune with a assassin bounty hunter robot is weak story telling!

    3. CheeseInFL

      Right?! I mean until the uneducated, woke left find out that it’s pronouns are actually ‘beep/bop/boop!’ Then they will lose their (it actually means PLURAL!) collective, EMPTY, minds.

      1. Jay

        Hahahahahahahhahahahha

        1. Bon

          Gina is fabulous
          If woke opinions are acceptable than so should conservative.
          They are acting like the evil empire cancelling her character. Oh and I thought show was about Mando and Grogu, not about the female Starbucks

      2. Thandiwe

        Lol..that’s exactly what I thought! The little mouse droids were beeping and booping at R5. It’s sort of cheeky but in the end it’s a big woman of color being replaced by AI puppet.stroy of our lives! We get it, real women aren’t allowed to think for themselves, even if what they think is not particularly well explained or in line with what most people like. Since THE Slap, we see what happened to her was ridiculous in comparison and what they tried to do to Dawson was pretty bad too. Strong women scare people IRL. People can ask others to respect their pronouns but to demand it with threat of destroying your livelihood is wrong like demanding anything that crosses a person’s boundaries is inappropriate. If people have the right to self identify, then in theory she can self identify as a robot or jerk or anything she likes and those who don’t agree are totally blind hypocrites.

    4. High Skins collective

      That was a punk cowardly way out and ride the safe Middle lane. No honor in that decision

      1. High Skins collective

        ….. So you get a machine to take her place cowards!!

    5. Stewart

      Nope

  2. mrff

    Nobody cares
    Disney star wars is dead

    1. Dude

      Lucas was greedy and sold out his franchise to the highest bidder. And now Woke Disney is milking it for every quick dollar they can make from the franchise without caring that they are just ruining Lucas’ vision. At least after Gene Roddenberry died Star Trek pretty much stayed true to his vision, with the exception of that stupid Star Trek Discovery series.

      1. Terry

        I feel that it was a bad move to fire Gina because of some posts on social media when a person is only following the rights that were giving to us by God not by any government body. Of course I understand that both Dave and John would have wanted Cara Dunes back as the Marshall

  3. Scott Strout

    Carano said nothing wrong…Disney owes her an apology

    1. James

      Absolutely true! A bunch of woke BS

      1. Me

        Don’t worry Desantis is making Disney pay in every possible way. KARMA.

        1. Ry

          Nah, Disney got those dumb republicans on payroll. Gina got what she deserved.

          Fans didn’t even like her character until she decloaked to a brainwashed righty.

          1. The Cobbler

            Yeah well Disney stock and their layoffs says different

          2. Bert

            Spot on, Ry!

          3. JRL1

            You sound so stupid right now, talk about a blind, brainwashed lame, only your opinion matters right?

        2. Mario

          Best to confirm bringing her back. The Mandalorian and Grogu ticket sales would benefit from this.

      2. Dani

        It was ok for Pedro Pascal to put his completely opposite views of Gina’s, but he wasn’t fired too? Why didn’t they apply the same rules for him?She was a great part of the Mandalorian show.

        1. Betsy

          I dislike the Mormon Church. I would never work for them. But let’s say I did and in a high profile position. If I posted my thoughts online, they would fire me and I would expect it.

          Gina needed to find another job or shut up.

  4. Eric

    Except Cara is being hired by Filoni and will be back at Disney. something your woke butt forgot to mention.

    1. Ry

      Source is Trusmé Burro

  5. Jonathon Galt

    What is controversial about Daily Wire?
    Why no mention of the #firekathleenkennedy hashtag?
    Seems like very biased reporting

    1. T. Flanagan

      Nothing . Marxism generally Attacks its enemies with innuendo and suggestion of wrongdoing to brainwash people . Like 1984. Or Portland Oregon

    2. Ry

      Inside the Magic is more right than left, and TDW is controversial because most of those working for it are as nutty as Ben.

      There’s no mention because most fans are cool with Kathy.

      1. Stewart

        Wrong on all points.

      2. Todd R Hudson

        If you take an actual poll.on that I think you would be wrong. I go to conventions and discuss star wars to alot of different people and I say about 85 to 90 percent them can’t stand Kennedy and wish she was gone. That is from both sides of the political spectrum. The majority dont like what she has done with star wars

  6. Ion

    Yeah F Disney and their gay a$$ “star wars” Gina foever!!!!!

  7. joshua

    why are you such a hater of Cara Dune? get your facts straight and you will realize she was fired with false allegations. KaKa Kennedy simply hated her. Also IG-11 is only the marshall, it is not stating that her character is dead. Once grim reaper kennedy is gone, Cara Dune amd star wars will flurish.

    1. Ry

      Kennedy can stay as long as she wants, and those allegations are true. They are on Instagram lol

      1. Stewart

        No she cannot. Her contract was not renewed so she will be gone some time next year.

  8. Connor Payne

    They screwed her over like crazy. Boo hoo she’s conservative. At least she isn’t as blind in a lot of ways

  9. Julian Herring

    Gina rocks how us this a good replacement…

    1. Ry

      Gina is pathetic and can’t act 😊

      1. Stewart

        You are wrong again. Been wrong with every post.

  10. Dave

    You’d prefer to see a Droid play this part, rather than a strong female lead? Misogynist.

  11. MKC

    I certainly don’t agree with the tweets that got Gina fired….but of you put your politics aside and look a little closer you will find Pedro Pascal had similar tweets with no repercussions…hypocrisy and selective outrage

  12. Dani

    It was ok for Pedro Pascal to put his completely opposite views of Gina’s, but he wasn’t fired too? Why didn’t they apply the same rules for him?She was a great part of the Mandalorian show.

  13. summerhorse

    Gina’s posts were very mild compared to her coworkers hateful posts, she was only fired because KK and her minions did not like her. They were trying to find “cause” for months before then and then they slandered her in the process. Cara was not “replaced” and she was not killed off either. What a trash article.

    1. summerhorse

      Excuse me, they libeled her!

  14. Doc W

    Freedom of political speech is a constitutional right. Even if you don’t agree with someone, they have a right to express their views. We need to move on from cancel culture and allow divergent views to be expressed. This is the hallmark of a true democracy.

  15. Patrick

    So in a recent interview with Favreau he stated that her firing was done inappropriately and rumors that she may be brought back into the show due to the favor of the fans and the fact that everyone on the show who worked with her had nothing but praise.

  16. Chad

    Have you seen this season? Honestly she’s probably glad she was fired. Disney killed star wars, now it’s pounding it into the dirt to make sure it’s really dead.

  17. Ti

    They should get her back.

  18. Christal

    The reason they fired her is absurd yet another victim of cancel culture. Doing anything other than bringing her back is disrespectful to her character and dismissive of fans feelings who keep this show going.

  19. John Smith

    Until Kennedy moves Lucasfilm back to George Lucas’ vision instead of Kennedy’s then there IS no Star Wars, and the question is moot.

  20. John Smith

    Until Lucasfilm switches back to George Lucas’ vision and dumps Kennedy’s vision then there is NO Star Wars and the question is moot.

  21. Daniel Doolhoff

    Storywise, I think it works. It is good to see the droid back in service.

    But Gina’s return would have done far better for the franchise.

    Meanwhile there are other actors that have been kept on that are far more controversial than Gina.

  22. Stevek

    Pathetic

  23. JayArnold

    Oh OKay …. so season 3 was absolute crap. Nobody watched it and all people can talk about is Gina Carano. I love seeing Kennedy and her minions wiping egg off of their collective faces. These dumb woke ass pieces of sh!t lost me and my kids …. nobody from two generations of my family will ever pay another cent to Disney of follow any of their Star Wars garbage. Season 3 is crap without Cara Dune … but they added Lizzo the Hut and toothless afro lady … just freaking great LOL!

  24. Tarsey

    We’ll that didn’t take long to spiral into debate made of gibberish

  25. Dwhit

    No, I’m not happy that the studio bowed to the cancel culture! Their woke policies were the reason that after being a Passholder for 25 years, I didn’t renew my annual pass.

  26. B

    no bring Gina back,,

  27. Harleyteam

    I’ve never posted comments on any site before, So this is a first. ALL political opinions aside, Gina did a great job showing what REAL women can do in this world. They need to accept this, and bring her back.

  28. Trey

    No wonder The Hill stopped their comment section. All the deplorable’s came here.

    1. Red_ terracotta

      That’s proud deplorable. Wait for it….MAGA

  29. pandormaniac

    The Hypocrisy of the cancel and woke left, they can call people Nazi and censor them, but if they get called out for there hatred of others wanting to silence them like the Nazi did to the Jews were evil. Personally I’m on a Disney free diet, unfortunately that includes any new Star wars .

  30. Larry

    She will never ever be offered anything by any major studio again, only movies she’ll be in is something with Kevin Sorbo or Dean Cain. As for the settlement she got “Go Away Money” Some pocket change rattling around in a pair of jeans Bob Iger wore in the 80s. She got herself blacklisted no studio wants to risk or deal with any drama she’ll bring.

  31. Raymond

    I was excited to see her get the role…until I saw that she couldn’t act. This should be a nothing burger.

  32. Steph

    Lol gaslighting I see? Typical woke bullshit. Ideal Evans not replacing Gene Carano. There’s enough time for them to film pick ups for Amanda and Grogu and obviously whoever wrote this dumpster fire article didn’t bother to read the settlement. She’s got her job back you stupid ass.

  33. David A

    Not my pick for an actress, never did like her part, but some folks may.
    Did not miss her in the series, Disney should leave it be, Like all Star Wars characters, create another, not a replacement.
    This is not about woke/politics or her winning the case.
    Disney is the owner, and like all positions, they have the right to remove an actor/actress at their discretion. Employment can be terminated at each end employer or employee.

  34. C

    Am I happy someone lost their job for their Conservative views? Lmao 👎 no . This is not Communist China.
